gulp-sass not compiling sass files

Question

I'm actually trying to build a gulp planning to do web related stuff, like compile sass, minify css, uglify javascript and so on. But I'm really having troubles with sass. Here's a sample of my code : ``` gulp.task('compile-sass', function() { gulp.src(buildType+config.path.sass+"/main.sass") .pipe(compass({ css: 'css', sass: 'sass' })) .pipe(gulp.dest(buildType+config.path.css+"/test")); }); ``` So I'm using compass here because i only have *.sass files and no .scss so gulp-sass wouldn't work for me. Therefore, I'm asking if anyone could give me a hint of why this task doesn't work. Here's what my console returns : ``` [gulp] Starting 'compile-sass'... [gulp] Finished 'compile-sass' after 6.11 ms [gulp] You must compile individual stylesheets from the project directory. events.js:72 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^ [gulp] Error in plugin 'gulp-compass': Compass failed at Transform.<anonymous> (/Users/myusername/node_modules/gulp-compass/index.js:37:28) at ChildProcess.<anonymou…

Thanks to SteveLacy i could manage to fix this.

If you only have .sass files, and no .scss, you need to use gulp-ruby-sass instead of gulp-compass or gulp-sass. Here is a sample of my working code :

```
var sass = require('gulp-ruby-sass');

gulp.task('compile-sass', function() {
    gulp.src(path/to/your/sass/folder/main.sass")
        .pipe(sass())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('path/to/your/css/folder));
});
```
